With lewd sexual comments flooding the airwaves from Trump, and massive attempts to villainize Hillary underway; we’ve got to keep our eye on the ball. The only way Trump’s team believes they can win is if they destroy every ounce of Hillary’s reputation so she looks as bad as he is. We’ve got to stand-up for …

Trump deserves a thanks, even if we give him a vote of no thanks… Whether you love him, hate him, or believe he is mentally ill, Donald Trump has held our attention for over a year with the most unconventional presidential campaign in history. Yes, the mainstream media outlets gave him more than his fair share of coverage because stories about him lend themselves to clickbait headlines that sell advertising. Yes, those of us who thought this was all a …
My Voter Registration Experience Last Saturday, I spent a couple of hours as a voter registration volunteer, at what can only be described as a Meta-church social.

You are witnessing the “Attribution theory,” election. If a label is stuck on someone’s head and it stays there… it may be hard to shake. The bragging Republican presumptive nominee and egomaniac Trump likes to stick labels all over people. He’s aiming for what is called “internal attribution.” He’s creating names to pin …
Sanders with Hillary Clinton at a Democratic debate. Luke Sharrett/Bloomberg/Getty Senator Bernie Sanders is perfectly correct in decrying corporate/fascist influence in American politics, and perfectly right to emphasize that the corporate-friendly policies of the past 30-odd years have been devastating for the American Middle Class. He has stood a long and important watch for our political well-being. Understanding the sometimes absurd primary process is essential to understanding WHY Senator Sanders is so important in 2016. In a nutshell, the more support …
